Great News Regarding Medicare!
In a significant development for the healthcare industry, some great news has emerged regarding Medicare, providing a glimmer of hope and relief for millions of Americans. Medicare has long been a pillar of healthcare for seniors and other vulnerable populations, and this recent development aims to make the program even better.
One of the major announcements is that Medicare will now cover more preventive services, ensuring that beneficiaries have access to essential screenings and early-detection measures. These preventive services are crucial in identifying health issues before they worsen, allowing for early intervention and potentially saving lives. The expansion of coverage will result in improved healthcare outcomes and promote a proactive approach to wellness among Medicare beneficiaries.
Moreover, this positive news brings welcome relief to individuals who require medical equipment and devices to manage their health conditions. Medicare will now cover a wider range of durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters, making these vital aids more accessible and affordable. This expanded coverage will undoubtedly enhance the quality of life for those in need, promoting independence and increased mobility.
Additionally, Medicare has revealed that it will continue to focus on reducing costs and improving the overall efficiency of the program. By implementing various cost-saving measures, such as negotiating lower drug prices, Medicare aims to alleviate financial burdens for both beneficiaries and taxpayers. This commitment to fiscal responsibility ensures that the program remains sustainable and accessible for future generations.
Furthermore, the recent developments address the issue of limited coverage for mental health services. Medicare will now extend coverage for mental health conditions, including therapy sessions, counseling, and outpatient care, thus acknowledging the importance of mental well-being in overall healthcare. This change will undoubtedly benefit beneficiaries who require mental health services and bridge the existing gap in access to such crucial treatments.
Another exciting piece of news is the introduction of telehealth services in Medicare. This advancement comes at an opportune time, as the world faces the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth allows beneficiaries to receive medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatment remotely, mitigating the risks associated with in-person visits. This technology-driven innovation not only ensures continuity of care but also reduces unnecessary exposure to infectious diseases.
Although these developments are undoubtedly positive, it is essential for beneficiaries to understand the changes and take full advantage of the expanded coverage and benefits offered by Medicare. Staying informed about these updates will empower individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare, ensuring they receive the best possible care and support.
In conclusion, the recent news regarding Medicare is undoubtedly a cause for celebration. The expanded coverage for preventive services, durable medical equipment, mental health treatment, and the introduction of telehealth services provide tremendous relief and improved access to care for millions of beneficiaries. These positive changes reflect Medicare’s commitment to advancing healthcare and ensuring the well-being of its beneficiaries, making it a significant step forward in delivering quality, affordable healthcare to America’s seniors and vulnerable populations.
Yeah, ny times used to be half way decent, even good. Tony Heller is fond of digging into their own archives to refute what they currently publish regarding the climate. Lol.
Thank you for keeping us informed and sharing your knowledge
Very interested to hear more about that book! Hope it goes well
More science mis-information about CO2 and climate change. What's the connection with Medicare or retirement planning?
The biggest reason is the number of beneficiary's have increased. How does this work? The $4T ' trend projection' assumed costs are variable, in reality costs are fixed, semi-fixed and variable. When you divide these fixed and semi-fixed costs, which do not necessarily increase with volume, over increased volume, you get a lower number per person. It is the baby boomer entrance 'hello medicare' volume effect. Overall medical costs continue to go up, and projected to go up significantly in 2024.
I will have federal health plan when I retire. It will cost me about $600 a month in todays dollar but will come out of my pension. But will allow me to retire at 57 without worrying about medical coverage
Anyone who thinks Obummer was one of our greatest presidents is truly delusional.
Cost are not leveling off, we are just being denied treatment
Medicare sucks , and the big push for Medicare Advantage plans is the biggest reason,
Thanks Josh. Appreciate it
The previous hospital I worked for (now closed) had a neurologist arrested by the FBI for Medicare fraud. (In the late 90’s)
I strongly suspect the cardiologists I worked with were also doing the same by falsely claiming studies done in the hospital were being done in their private offices.
I found United Health Care provides complete health care (Duel Balance plan ) at no cost for my mother. I also enrolled her in CT Snap program proving her low income/retirement of 21,000 per year and that made her eligible. She also receives 20 per month in food assistance from Snap. Even if she goes out of network, Snap covers the difference. The United Health agent helped me with everything. Unfortunately too many seniors are in the wrong plans which cost them unecessary dollars.
Read this article a few hours ago. In the comment section people noted that the leveling off happen after the ACA was passed. Wonder if there is a connection?
Definitely agree on NASA. Such conversations on funding need to start with" "we are broke. Do you think we need to spend billions sending someone to Mars?" Let countries that are not broke take over the funding.
Could it be we are healthier
Not only did the recent "health crises" save the government money in Medicare, but I'll bet that it is already saving money for the Social Security "trust" fund also.
My mother pays $333 a month for her humana medicare plan. Thats about what my wife and I each pay for Obamacare but she doesn't have near as much hassle getting things approved.
Gee, I wonder what happened about 12 years ago? It’s called the ACA which also improved Medicare. One of the greatest pieces of legislation recommended by the conservative Heritage Foundation years ago. Proves Obama was one of our greatest Presidents taking a Republican idea, enhancing it and passing it.
Those who are 65 or close to it need to understand that advantage plans may be cheaper than supplemental plans up front, but are more expensive in the long run. Unfortunately, advantage plans are pushed hard through advertising, so thats all you hear about. Supplemental plans do not limit who you can see, and dont require preapproval for procedures and specialists. Get a supplemental plan if you can afford it (I do not benefit financially or any other way with this info).
We pay more for healthcare than any other industrialized nation yet we are way down on the list as far as the overall health of our population.
How is rationing of care a good thing? The premiums will still go up and the care will diminish? I don’t see this a good news at all.
Who do you think took up the spending? Medicare premiums are quite high now.
Those dogs have you well trained ol man
@10:15 hahahaaa . pay up, boomer
